[tor-commits] [tor/master] Enable some windows hardening features

commit 503f101d2b1d8dfdd17cc2aa79fc10d79eecd04c
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm at torproject.org>

    Enable some windows hardening features
    
    One (HeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption) is on-by-default since win8;
    the other (PROCESS_DEP_DISABLE_ATL_THUNK_EMULATION) supposedly only
    affects ATL, which (we think) we don't use.  Still, these are good
    hygiene. Closes ticket 21953.

+  o Minor features:
+    - Enable a couple of pieces of Windows hardening: one
+      (HeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption) that has been on-by-default since
+      Windows 8, and unavailable before Windows 7, and one
+      (PROCESS_DEP_DISABLE_ATL_THUNK_EMULATION) which we believe doesn't
+      affect us, but shouldn't do any harm. Closes ticket 21953.
